It is a top priority at Milan Eye Center, to prepare our patients to be properly informed of cataract lens replacement surgery. Before surgery, patients will be given a prescription for eye drops and should use the medicated eye drops exactly as written in the pre-op plan. Patients should plan ahead for a family member or friend to drive them home following the procedure. While aspirin may continue to be taken prior to surgery, patients that take anticoagulants such as Coumadin or Plavix should never stop taking the medication on their own. A primary care physician or cardiologist should determine whether the anticoagulants should be stopped prior to surgery.
Beginning the night before the cataract procedure patients should not eat or drink anything including water, after midnight. Patients should also shower the evening before surgery.
On the morning of cataract surgery, do not apply any makeup including blush, mascara, lipstick, eyeliner, or eye shadow. Do not wear contact lenses. Do not apply any lotion to the face or chest. Do take your heart or blood pressure medications with only a small sip of water. Be sure wear comfortable clothing with a button or zipper top. Leave all jewelry and valuables at home. For diabetic patients, please refrain from taking insulin or any other diabetic medication.
